Online and Social Media Related Crime

Profile Hacking/ Identity Theft

Someone gets into your social media or email, or uses your name and ID without your permission.

Warning signs

  1. Friends say you messaged them, and you did not.

  2. Your password suddenly stops working.

  3. A login code arrives when you are not trying to log in.

  4. A loan, SIM, or account appears in your name and you did not apply.

Do not send your password or login code to a friend, even if the message looks like them.
